(scroll down a bit for a Battleship Oklahoma listing)

I remember seeing the silver service (and ship's bell?) salvaged from the Oklahoma
when I toured the OK Historical Society building...decades ago.

"I remember seeing the silver service (and ship's bell?) salvaged from the Oklahoma when I toured the OK Historical Society building...decades ago."

It was there for many years and I think it is back again. However, there was a time, I believe, about a decade ago where one of OKs governors had "acquired" the silver service for state functions use. I believe the Historical Society made them give it back. The anchor of the USS Oklahoma is a memorial, that has been there forever, one main street in down town Oklahoma City. I work within walking distance of this and if I get ambitious tommorrow I will walk over to it a maybe reflect and pray some. The building I work in is right across the street from the Alphred P. Murry federal building bombing national memorial - I see that every day of the week.
